Chapter 154 Close the door and beat the dog

The officers and soldiers of all walks of life managed to control Dengzhou City, but after they worked hard to seize the important land, they opened the warehouse and found that it was basically empty. Except for some food that the rebels had no time to transfer, they basically didn't find much gold, silver and jewelry in the past two days. After the fierce battle, the casualties were heavy, and this was not enough for them to close their teeth.

So they realized that they had been fooled by Yu Xiaotian again. Yu Xiaotian did not give in. They simply expected in advance that the rebels would transfer a large amount of goods from the city to the water city, so they let them go to the front to fight with the rebels.

This time, they knocked out their teeth and could only swallow blood into their stomachs. The mute people knew that they had suffered from eating yellow. They were deceived one by one, but they also had no choice but to take Yu Xiaotian.

Zhu Dadian learned that Dengzhou City had been controlled by the officers and soldiers, so he moved to Dengzhou City and took command to attack Dengzhou Water City. Zhu Dadian also asked Yu Xiaotian why his navy had not blocked the Dengzhou Water Gate and opened the door for the rebels.

Yu Xiaotian then made up a set of lies, saying that his sailors have only reached part, and some sailors are still on the road, and the rebels have sent many warships at sea to intercept his sailors. Now his sailors can't pass.

Although Zhu Dadian felt that Yu Xiaotian did not seem to tell the truth, he could not verify it, so he had to choose to believe Yu Xiaotian's words.

But there is no way to sit and wait like this. Now someone has told him that the rebels have chiseled ice outside the water gate in the past two days, chiseled the sea ice outside the water gate, and opened the passage to the sea. He also guessed that the rebels must escape by water. Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to conquer the water city as soon as possible. Let's see if we can block the rebels in a part of the water city.

So he immediately dispatched troops and began to arrange to attack the water city. All departments took orders and began to arrange the siege.

Yu Xiaotian was also ordered to be responsible for the attack of a section of the city wall. He attacked the water city from the east main wall. He sent some troops and began to act in accordance with Zhu Dadian's requirements. However, the rebels are now arranging to retreat and resist very tenaciously. In addition, he did not intend to attack desperately. After two days of fierce fighting, the water city was not able to It was conquered by them.

When they were ready to continue the attack, a large number of rebels boarded the ship overnight and began to rush out of the water city overnight and fled to Long Island.

When the officers and soldiers invaded the Water City at dawn, the rebels in the Water City had already fled, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled abandoned by them. As for the goods, there was basically nothing left. As long as they could be shipped away, the rebels were loaded into the ship and taken away from the city.

Although the officers and soldiers in this battle have won a great victory, the shortcoming in the United States is that the officers and soldiers have not completely annihilated the rebels in Dengzhou City, which made Zhu Dadian can't help sigh, but there is no choice.

He also knew that once the rebels escape into the sea, it would not be easy to block them again. Even if Yu Xiaotian's sailors came at this time, he was afraid that they could not completely annihilate the rebels.

After thinking about it, he thought that the rebels had no way to escape at present, but had to retreat to Dongjiang Town, so he immediately sent people to take a small boat to Dongjiang Town and ordered Huang Long, the current general of Dongjiang Town, to guard against it in Dongjiang Town. Once he found that the rebel fleet was trying to land in Dongjiang Town, he immediately surrounded and chased him. Block it, in order to eliminate the rebels in Dongjiang Town, and not let the rebels sit in Dongjiang Town again.

After arranging this matter, he immediately sent someone to Beijing to play the victory. Anyway, this time he basically solved the trouble of the Denglai rebels and could finally explain it to the emperor.

The news rushed to the capital at a speed of dozens of miles per hour. Two days later, the news of the official army's recovery of the whole Dengzhou City was reported to the palace of the capital.

For the rebellion of Denglai, Chongzhen had been upset for more than a year. After learning the news, he was really overjoyed. After reading the war report, he learned that it was Yu Xiaotian who led the army to first attack Dengzhou City. Suddenly, Longyan was very happy and immediately issued a decree to appoint Yu Xiaotian as the general of Dingguo.

Originally, even if it was granted the title of scattered officials, it was generally necessary to give a general of Zhengguo first. When he was promoted to the first level, he would be the general of Dingguo, and then to be promoted to the level, he was the general of Fengguo and the guard of the army. However, Chongzhen was in a good mood this time and directly gave Yu Xiaotian the title of a general of Dingguo, which was also special. Awarded.

In addition, Chongzhen ordered Zhu Dadian to restore the war-stricken ground of Denglai as soon as possible and clean up the remnants of the rebels.

However, they have not received any news of the rebels from Huanglong in Dongjiang Town. After the rebels escaped from Dengzhou Water City, there was no more news. After a long time, there were rumors that the rebels did not immediately take a boat to Dongjiang Town after fleeing into the sea. Over there, it was temporarily stationed on Turtle Island in the Temple Island Islands, which is known as Yiji Island in later generations.

When the rebels fled from Dengzhou City, they originally wanted to retreat to stop on Long Island, which was not far from Dengzhou City, but when they arrived at Long Island, they found that Long Island had been captured by Yu's navy, and they saw that the number of Yu's navy warships was large and a large number. Under the new defeat of the rebels, they had no intention of fighting. , immediately fled to Turtle Island.

Then as soon as they arrived on Turtle Island, they could not breathe. A large number of Yu's naval division chased them to Turtle Island. Kong Youde had no choice but to lead his troops to fight fiercely at sea. However, the rebel navy was not the opponent of Yu's military navy at all. After sinking many ships in a row, the rebels had to flee back to the island.

As a result, the rebel warships abandoned on the shore or in the bay were destroyed or captured by the Yu family. More than 10,000 rebels led by Kong Youde were trapped on Turtle Island and became turtles in the urn.

Yu Jiajun sailors surrounded Turtle Island, but did not attack the island immediately. Instead, after a few days of stalemate, they sent someone to negotiate with Kong Youde.

Kong Youde knew that he was finished. Now he was trapped on Turtle Island, saying that the earth should not be called every day. There is no way to enter the earth, and he could only be slaughtered by others, so he had to negotiate with the people sent by the Yu family army.

Kong Youde's requirements are not high. He just hoped to save his life and let Yu Jiajun let him live. Lin Yiyang, who was sent by Yu Xiaotian, immediately agreed.

Yu Xiaotian's request is very simple, that is, to ask Kong Youde to give up resistance and lead the rebels to surrender to him. Pay attention! Lin Yiyang made it very clear that it was Kong Youde who led the rebels to surrender to Yu Xiaotian, not to the imperial court.

At first, Kong Youde was still confused and felt that surrendering to Xiaotian was different from surrendering to the imperial court. However, Lin Yiyang repeatedly stressed that he surrendered to Xiaotian, not to the court. Only then did Kong Youde understand and immediately agreed.

Because Kong Youde is also a smart man, if he can't even understand this, he will really become a fool. This surrender to Xiaotian and the court is not a concept.

Now if he surrenders to the court and is sent to Beijing, he will definitely be killed by the current emperor and die again. In this Denglai Rebellion, he killed countless people. The government and the opposition can be said to hate him to the bone, and it can be said that he wants to die.

But surrender to Yu Xiaotian is different. He and Yu Xiaotian don't have a deep hatred. Although the two armies fought in front of the two armies and each had their own damage, this is a battle on the battlefield. It is impossible to die. What's more, for such a long time, Yu Xiaotian rode him to beat him. He can only be beaten. Yu Xiaotian can't talk about him. What hatred.

Now Yu Xiaotian's men promise him that as long as he surrenders, he will not die, so what else can he hesitate to do?

As for Kong Youde's rebel who wanted to continue to control his rebels at first, stay in the army, and later defected to Xiaotian, this idea should be rejected by Lin Yiyang.

Lin Yiyang's reason is very sufficient. Kong Youde is now a wanted minister in the court. Even if he surrenders to Yu Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian does not dare to use him now. At best, he will change his identity and find a place for him to live secretly to ensure that it will not harm him. It is absolute to keep him to continue to lead the army. Impossible.

In addition to his failure, his traitors must also leave the army. Yu Xiaotian can promise not to kill them and leave them a way to live to survive.

Kong Youdesi thought about it and went back to discuss this matter with his men. At first, his men were not happy. They felt that if they had no soldiers, they would be nothing. The military power could not be handed over in any case. Otherwise, after they surrendered, they would become flesh and be slaughtered by others.

Kong Youde was very hesitant to refuse Yu Xiaotian's request. Lin Yiyang did not urge him to wait for him at sea for three days. After three days, Kong Youde had not made a decision, so more than 30 warships of various types of the navy surrounded Turtle Island and began to shell the rebel barracks on the island.

Dozens of ships were loaded with a large number of artillery. Among these guns, there were many heavy naval guns, which were very powerful and not close. In an instant, a large amount of ammunition was poured into the rebel camp. The rebels turned upside down, forcing the rebels to escape from the barracks and flee to the mountains and forests of the island.

The rebels now knew the requirements of Yu Jiajun. They secretly hated these officials who did not consider their life and death, only cared about themselves, and refused to give up their military power. As a result, they were going to be severely beaten by the Yu army here, so they began to brew * and simply killed these rebels. They surrendered to Xiaotian and pulled them down. Who are you going to be a soldier with?

What's more, they all heard that they could eat very well when they joined the soldiers with Yu Xiaotian. Looking at the soldiers of the Yu family's army, their faces and bodies must have been very good.

And taking advantage of the chaos, Lin Yiyang also released a group of rebel soldiers they had captured before, let them sneak into the rebels, and vividly described to these rebels what they had seen and heard in their barracks.
